FICTION THE HOUSE ON HALF MOON STREET
Alex Reeve
From the first page of Reeve’s masterful debut, we are plunged into murky Victorian London. This is a brilliantly gripping, unsettling Gothic tale of murder, identity and desire. Leo Stanhope is an assistant to a London coroner who was born Charlotte until he fled his family home to live as the man he knows he is. Leo dreams of starting a life with Maria, the young prostitute he loves – until she is found murdered.
